Had a sudden craving for Dim Sum in the middle of the night so my friend kindly drove me to Geylang for Dim Sum supper!First of all, the place was packed even though it was close to 1am. We ordered the classics of Dim Sum to just to find out the reasons why the crowds travelled all the way to this place to have Dim Sum.The fried dumplings that first reached our table felt short of expectations. The prawns inside had a fishy smell to it which frankly is quite disappointing and that was definitely
First of all, the place was packed even though it was close to 1am. We ordered the classics of Dim Sum to just to find out the reasons why the crowds travelled all the way to this place to have Dim Sum.
The fried dumplings that first reached our table felt short of expectations. The prawns inside had a fishy smell to it which frankly is quite disappointing and that was definitely not a good start to the supper.
Subsequently, the Ha Gao, Siew Mai and pork ribs arrived. The Ha Gao tasted uninspiring with the skin being too sticky. The pork ribs were more like ribs only with not much meat for us hungry supper diners. The saving grace would be the Siew Mai thankfully. Even though my friends thought nothing of the Dim Sum. I thought that the Siew Mai definitely tasted above average with a more decently prepared filling. Their Xiao Long Bao however tasted nothing like a Xiao Long Bao as it was juiceless. To me, their Xiao Long Bao is just a white edition of their Siew Mai except that it tasted worst. Their Chee Cheong Fan (prawn) was smooth and tasted above average with a distinctive sauce that helped it to slide down your throat.Service wise, the staff was prompt but we had two of our orders left out. This place serves decent Dim Sum in my personal opinion but nothing that will make you want to return to the place another time.
